17 places around the world that look like a Wes Anderson film

12. Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

“I love the way that modern life blends somewhat awkwardly with the traditional Mongolian lifestyle and this juxtaposition makes it a fascinating city,” former jockey Richard Dunwoody told Telegraph Travel back in 2011.

Perhaps this awkwardness and colourful retro architecture would make the Mongolian capital a perfect setting for a Wes Anderson film.

“There is plenty of culture: the Winter Palace of the Bogd Khan and the National Museum of Mongolian History are well worth visiting, and the nightlife is surprisingly good, except on the 1st and 15th of every month when alcohol is not sold,” he adds.
